Hey all! Getting ready to start my second ever PF campaign here soon (1st one made it to level 6 and is now on hiatus for the DM's classes). I have not looked through the books that much, but am quite familiar with 3.5.
I'm looking to make a character who... well doesn't suck. I'd like to be at least moderately powerful. I believe our group is going to consist of a Monk (not sure what paths but I'm sure he'll be decent), a Goblin alchemist, a Paladin, and me. I was thinking of making a Magus, as I've heard they're pretty good gish-in-a-box's, but I'm slightly confused by some of the exact mechanics, and was looking for advice in general.
My other idea was to go Vivisectionist Alchemist (possibly with 3 or so levels of Gunslinger). If people want to make a case for that let me know. My last character was a straight Ninja, and I liked her a lot (played with 20 Strength and 16 Dex at level one, I KILLED, even without Sneak Attack).
Now my stats have been rolled but unfortunately I do no have the paper here. I do know that I have an 18, 17, pretty sure also the others are betwen 12-15, and one 9 for sure.
I'm open to other suggestions as well for classes, I just don't want to find myself wanting for power, and I don't want to be someone who can Nova one encounter but then is out of spells and useless.
I was thinking of playing either a Goblin or a Stryx (?) - they're a monster class that gets Natural flight, which I find very smexy.
